Oh no. That's the average price for a gcc. My breeder has them for 350 $ being the lowest depending on mutation. The highest I saw for a gcc was 400$

I guess it all depends on where you live but for our green cheeks normals are 200, cinnamons are 225, yellow sideds are 250 and pineapples are 275. Pet stores are always more expensive though. Regardless of price, finding a healthy well socialized bird should be top priority and if possible, try to find a bird that picks you. I've had so many people come over expecting to get a certain bird and a different one will pick them instead :)k

I know how that feels, we were at a bird show two weeks ago that had a rose breasted too I fell in love with. Mind you, I have never really cared for rbt's in the past, I'm more of a white cockatoo kind of girl lol. But I really hit it off with this bird, unfortunately the woman insisted on getting $800 for him and he was an older bird to top it off. She had no background info on him and I really got the feeling she was just flipping him. It killed me to leave him there like that but that sad fact is I didn't go prepared to spend that much money on a bird, especially one that the seller couldn't even tell me any history on :(

Try breeders for your birds that way you will get a more healthy bird with a lower price. $700 for a Sun is way to high. I paid $450 for mine. Never buy a bird from Petsmart or Petco they will sell high priced unhealthy birds anyway. Peace to you.

Yellow Sided Green Cheek Conure- Zoey
Here at the local Petco (Wilmington, NC) the Green Cheeks are normally $350 regardless of color mutation, but until Nov. 17th they're on sale for $200. Given that this particular Petco seems to have very healthy and happy birds, I think $200 would be an excellent price for the little Yellow Sided they have there. Not sure how that stacks up around the country, but it seems to be a little cheaper than most places. Couldn't say on the breeders, since I don't have any nearby though.

We got Boomer, our sun conure, from a breeder for $300. He was hand fed and the woman we bought him from was great. I found her with an app called Oodle. Suns go for $600 at Petco and Pet's Smarts here in SoCal.

$450 reduced to $350 for my pineapple (or cinnamon, idk) gcc from a small time petshop
$399 reduce to $199 at petco for my yellow sided gcc
and $40 for my normal gcc ..my $40 bird came with two cockatiels, a parakeet, very nice cages, shower perch, two flight suits, enough food for everybody, nutriberries, tons of bird talk magazines, tons of nice perches, treats, six bags of millet, lots of toys, extra dishes that bolt onto the cage, college books about parrots, beginners books for owners, six rope perches, and a nice play gym.
I donated a lot of the stuff to local people with birds.
:) I helped lotsa people. i gave the parakeet to a loving family for free, i gave six wooden perches and nesting materials to a girl with breeder doves with foot injuries, a girl with a trouble amazon who couldnt find anything to support her amazons weight (rope perches and a super thick manzanita perch worked great), and I unstitched one flight suit to steal the pattern and gave twenty-three people free flight suits i made :)
yay

This is from breeders, pet stores are going to times that price usually by 1.5-2. It really does depend where you are in the world to how much they cost.
